About this course

In your first year you’ll gain a thorough overview of both subjects with modules including Management and Organisational Behaviour and Sociology. In your second and third years, you’ll choose from an extensive list of optional courses, analysing in detail a range of topics such as Managing People; Business Ethics; Consumer Culture and Advertising; Living with Capitalism; Human Resource Management, and Technology in Organisation.

Your deep understanding of organisations, and the people who work within them, combined with a range of transferable skills, such as time management, communicating complex ideas effectively and working independently, will make you stand out in a competitive jobs market and open up a variety of career opportunities.

Our graduates go into a wide array of jobs and careers, from mainstream human resource management, in both public and private corporations, to management consultancy and roles in media and marketing. Some of our alumni have set up businesses on their own, both at home and abroad.

Your degree focuses on understanding social and civic processes, so it is also an excellent foundation for careers in the Civil Service, local government, public affairs, charities and social welfare organisations.


Lancaster University is dedicated to ensuring you not only gain a highly reputable degree, you also graduate with the relevant life and work based skills.

Lancaster University offers a range of programmes, some of which follow a structured study programme, and others which offer the chance for you to devise a more flexible programme. We divide academic study into two sections - Part 1 (Year 1) and Part 2 (Year 2, 3 and sometimes 4). For most programmes Part 1 requires you to study 120 credits spread over at least three modules which, depending upon your programme, will be drawn from one, two or three different academic subjects. A higher degree of specialisation then develops in subsequent years.

Information contained on the website with respect to modules is correct at the time of publication, but changes may be necessary, for example as a result of student feedback, Professional Statutory and Regulatory Bodies' (PSRB) requirements, staff changes, and new research.
